Dennis Prager says:
Keith Ellison, D-Minn., the first Muslim elected to the United States Congress, has announced that he will not take his oath of office on the Bible, but on the bible of Islam, the Koran.
He should not be allowed to do so -- not because of any American hostility to the Koran, but because the act undermines American civilization.
Given that Americans of Jewish faith take their oath of office on the Bible and atheists take their oath of office on the Bible, why should Ellison be different?
